Software Testing/User Acceptance Testing Fundamentals
Course: UASTF
Duration: 3 Days
Level: I
Course Summary
Testing of software has become an increasingly important task requiring an increased knowledge of testing techniques. Developing information systems is a high-risk occupation and user acceptance testing (UAT) is the backstop that can avoid disasters. User acceptance testing needs real training, not just a short course. In spite of its importance, user acceptance testing (UAT) is often chaotic, problematic and ineffective.
This course teaches the most important methods of software testing. It is designed for anyone who needs to understand how testing is handled in today's environments. It also covers current topics, such as test-first approach and risk-based testing.
The content of this course is based on the International Software Testing Qualifications Board?s Foundation Level, which is appropriate for anyone who needs a basic understanding of software testing.
